Nashville real estate investor Mark Bloom and his daughter, Brooke, are among the owners of a high-end investment art gallery planned to open in Nashville’s Gulch next month.

Galerie Ravin will carry original, authenticated Andy Warhol art, including posters starting at $2,500 and silk-screens from $50,000 to $1 million. The owners hope to capitalize on the growing number of shoppers who desire super-luxury brands, a niche expected to draw more high-end retailers as Nashville’s profile rises.

“We’re seeing a more affluent segment of our Nashville consumers that are looking for cutting-edge, upscale luxury in hospitality, retail, residential and fashion,” Mark Bloom said.

Besides Warhol’s paintings, the gallery will feature works by artist Kelley Ryan, including portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Jim Morrison. It also will carry a painting from the “Flowers” series by artist Alex Katz.

Michael Haber, co-owner of The Tippler industrial-chic cocktail bar coming to the Adelica condominium tower near Vanderbilt, has the lead role in securing the art pieces.

He has secured works authenticated by the Andy Warhol Foundation such as posters of Muhammad Ali, silk-screens of singer Mick Jagger and a screenprint of an Indian mother and child from the Cowboys and Indians series. He is also pursuing Dolly Parton and Elvis.

Mark Bloom sees the art as having two key draws for Nashville’s growing affluent community.

“They’re going to buy it for beauty of the art, the iconic nature, the images,” he said. “You’ve got a lot of wealthy people here with disposable incomes, and they want art that’s not only beautiful but is marketable.”

As owner of property near downtown through his Corner Partnership, Mark Bloom said he’s fielding more calls from developers interested in bringing higher-end hotels and other brands to Nashville. He cites more celebrity chefs looking to have outposts here and the initial success of high-end stores such as Nordstrom, Burberry, Louis Vuitton and Tiffany as other signs of Nashville being on the radar of more super-luxury brands.

Hollywood stars, entertainers and others moving here from places such as California — along with ABC’s “Nashville” TV series — have raised the city’s profile, Mark Bloom said.

“Success breeds more people wanting to come into town and once we have our first super-luxury hotel or residential and it succeeds, there will be a flood that follows,” he said.

Steve Rudd, a partner in real estate development firm Rudd Seeley Wallis, said while Nashville is reaching a tipping point for growth, it still doesn’t have the mass of higher-income people found in much larger cities that draws super-luxury brands. To get to the next level, the city still needs to work on issues such as mass transit, Rudd added.

Peggy Sells, a retail broker at Cassidy Turley commercial real estate in Brentwood, said while the number of luxury brands coming to Nashville has increased, the Green Hills area and West End have been the preferred destination. Such high-profile stores often want to be in the same area as others so shoppers can go from one to another, she said.

Local brokers identified the tight inventory of spots in areas such as Green Hills where such retailers can go as among issues for top brands looking here. Mark Bloom sees possibilities for shops in the retail portions of some of the new mixed-used projects to be built here.

Mark Bloom and his Corner partners are holding off on redevelopment of the Griffin Plaza site until they land a partner interested in a high-end project such as a four-to-five-star hotel with a residential component.
